Article Abstract

Background And Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate advanced MRI findings in the bilateral hippocampus CA1 region of rats with hemorrhagic shock reperfusion (HSR) and their correlation with histopathological results. Additionally, this study aimed to identify effective MRI examination methods and detection indexes for assessing HSR.

Methods: Rats were randomized into the HSR and the Sham groups with 24 rats in each group. MRI examination included diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and 3-dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL). Apoptosis and pyroptosis were evaluated directly from tissue.

Results: In the HSR group, cerebral blood flow (CBF) was significantly lower than that of the Sham group, while radial kurtosis (Kr), axial kurtosis (Ka), and mean kurtosis (MK) were all higher. In the HSR group, fractional anisotropy (FA) at 12 and 24 hours and radial diffusivity, axial diffusivity (Da), and mean diffusivity (MD) at 3 and 6 hours were lower than in the Sham group. MD and Da at 24 hours in the HSR group were significantly higher. The apoptosis rate and pyroptosis rate were also enhanced in the HSR group. CBF, FA, MK, Ka, and Kr values in the early stage were strongly correlated with apoptosis rate and pyroptosis rate. The metrics were obtained from DKI and 3D-ASL.

Conclusions: Advanced MRI metrics from DKI and 3D-ASL, including CBF, FA, Ka, Kr, and MK values, are useful to evaluate abnormal blood perfusion and microstructural changes in the hippocampus CA1 area in the setting of incomplete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats induced by HSR.

Background: While pegylated Escherichia coli asparaginase (PEG) is an integral component of leukemia and lymphoma treatment, hypersensitivity reactions (HSR) remain a common adverse event, often resulting in adjustments to the treatment regimen, increasing the burden on patients and families. HSR to asparaginase often indicates a transition to Erwinia asparaginase (ERW), which requires patients to return to the hospital 6 times for subcutaneous injections to replace one dose of IV PEG. Previous trials have demonstrated rates of HSR to pegylated E.

A Critical Examination of the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Model: Provider Perceptions and Themes.

Health Serv Res

September 2025

Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education, Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

Objective: To explore the experiences of providers from two community behavioral health agencies involved in the implementation of Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs).

Study Setting And Design: This qualitative study was conducted as part of a larger evaluation of CCBHC implementation outcomes in two community-based behavioral health agencies. Ninety-one participants, including case managers, counselors, care coordinators, and leadership teams from both agencies, participated in focus group discussions to share their experiences regarding the implementation of the CCBHC model within their organizations.

Objective: Develop a causal machine learning (causal ML) framework for estimating how a diagnosis (cancer in this study) affects the likelihood of receiving a specific health care service (advance care planning in this study) and associated heterogeneity.

Study Setting And Design: Our proposed framework leverages the causal forest method, combined with a population-weighted resampling and averaging over estimations strategy, to estimate average treatment effects (ATEs) and conditional average treatment effects (CATEs). Post hoc, we used best linear projections to identify covariates associated with variation in the CATEs.

Peer Coaching to Support Weight Management in Primary Care: A Cluster Randomized Clinical Trial.

JAMA Netw Open

September 2025

Department of Medicine, Veterans Affairs New York Harbor Healthcare System, New York.

Importance: Employing peer coaches to provide weight management counseling in primary care could address patient- and clinician-level barriers to obesity care, improve outcomes, and boost engagement in weight management programs.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of peer coaching to deliver a low- to moderate-intensity intervention for weight management compared with enhanced usual care (EUC).

Design, Setting, And Participants: This 2-arm, cluster randomized clinical trial was conducted from November 2017 to August 2021 at a single US Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) site.
